Just days before the Oscars, thieves have left Tombraider star Angelina Jolie without a red carpet gown. The sexy star's £3,000 Scott Henshall frock was stolen from the British designer's car in London just hours before he planned to fly out to Hollywood to present Angelina with the top secret design.
But it's not just Billy Bob Thornton's former wife who has been left without an Oscar night dress. Creations intended for heiress Paris Hilton and society girl Tamara Beckwith were also among the nine custom-made gowns lifted from the BMW.
"I would offer a cash reward to anyone who returned them in time," Henshall told the London Evening Standard after the incident. "There were 20 outfits in the collection and now the nine most glamorous have gone. There is no way I can remake Angelina's or any of the other dresses in time."
Henshall has been looking in trash bins in hopes the glitzy stolen goods – including Angelina's red corset gown, Paris' sequinned minidress and Tamara's flapper-style creation – were dumped. Meanwhile, Scotland Yard is also on the case.
The London-based designer was shopping in Knightsbridge with friend Lady Victoria Hervey when thieves cut through the parked vehicle's soft-top roof and made off with clothes, accessories and jewellery worth about £30,000.
